England hospital data:

Yet more good news

The BBC will be days late again - they reported on the 10 o'clock news nearly 2000 more than the number I posted here this time yesterday as 'the latest figures' which they were not.

And nobody noticed we went below 30,000 patients in the UK yesterday. Though we did\

We are well under now.

England as of today 24, 402 in hospital - down 932 in 24 hours and down 4957 on last Friday when it was 29, 359.

3974 in the other three nations so UK total is 28, 376.

The BBC as our national broadcaster aren't very good.

You'll definitely get 2 on Sunday and Monday, these headline figures do that every week.

The number to look at is "date by death", not this media headline number, the 28th Jan was the last day over 1000, unless there are some late addons, but for the 29th to exceed 1000, it will take 37 addons, so I would think it unlikely.

You're right about those dates obviously - I wonder if it's reported as it is as it's simpler, and keeps minds fixated on a single falling number.
I don't think telling people the peak was over a week ago would help matters, but instead would cause more agitation.

It's noticeable that the BBC describe it correctly as reported deaths.

Excellent news, I wonder why this is reported so poorly ? Is it to purely to try and offset optimism/non compliance ?

 

[cleavers]

Is it another two weeks before the protection kicks in?

It kicks in slowly, but they suggest 3 weeks before your first house party ;-)

 

[M18CTID]

In the past seven days there have been 31,775 second doses and 3,079,863 first doses given out - total number 3,111,638. A staggering effort IMO.

Incredible. It wasn’t that long ago that we were hoping for 2 million a week.

I think the bbc just enjoy giving the most pessimistic news possible, they'll barely reference the Sunday and Monday totals, then headline Tuesdays, when it doubles from Monday.

England hospital regions update:


Every single region fell today in BOTH patient numbers and ventilated patients day to day - bar South West - where the ventilators rose by 1 to 196. But even that is 3 down on last Friday.

Ventilators in NW fell from 364 to 354 in past day and was 399 last Friday.

Great news. What age group are you in mate?

I'm only 54 but I've got underlying health problems,
got a text from my GPs with my invitation and a link that took me to an appointment page, there was only 3 appointments left.

I'd not noticed a difference, but as much as anything that's because I haven't paid attention!

Huge daylight now between the blue and pink lines. They were a lot closer just a few days ago. It’s clear that even at this early stage the vaccine is working and working well

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Hopefully they'll come for me, soon.
I'm nearly 57 with underlying wealth issues.

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

Beware emails regarding vaccine appointments, if you are asked for money they are a scam. Just 3 hours after my missus confirmed her her appointment she received an email from the scammers. Suspect they are hooked into an NHS appointment register? They ask for £5 to choose an appointment time , the first choice being3 hours before her actual appointment. Twats

Not sure how to read that one Gaylord.
It's either the way you tell 'em or if not I hope you get that jab soon!

Cheers mate, good luck and im happy for you :)

My folks are booked in for their jabs at half eight Sunday morning.

Just told my little girl and she started crying with happiness.

Brought a lump to my throat.

Hasnt hugged them for a year and says it will be the highlight of her year when she can do so in the next few weeks, hopefully.

Jesus, I might even hug my dad and that's not something we've done for probably 40-odd years, he's a bit old school like that.

When he saw me suffering from the window last month he genuinely looked shaken and teary.

Roll on this year!

And that my friend is pure quality, love is the best thing in the world & if the last 12 months hasn't brought families, friends together then nothing will.

Hope everything goes well mate..

Excellent news, normality this summer and full stadiums next season

First time I hugged my dad was when we won the league in 2012, aged 42 and 70 respectively, and we’ve done it every time we’ve met since. It’s never too late to start mate!

Thats lovely.

I'm more emotional tonight than I"ve been since this all started.

Hopefully some light at the end of the tunnel.

My parents had theirs a couple of weeks ago roughly, coming to mine on Sunday to watch the match and first time they’ll have seen my lad for a long time due to him working and avoiding them. Certain things feel like we’re getting slowly back to normal....
